### What Is a Website Speed Checker?

A Website Speed Checker is an online tool that measures how fast your website or API responds when someone visits it. It analyzes various website performance metrics to help you understand which elements slow down your page load time.
Speed checkers can focus on two aspects of performance:

- **Client-side performance**, which includes metrics like First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — all indicators of how quickly your site becomes visible and usable to visitors.
- **Server-side performance (or network performance)**, which looks at the technical steps of a request such as DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server response time.

Understanding both sides helps you identify whether slowdowns are caused by your frontend assets or your backend infrastructure.

### What Is a Global Speed Checker?

A Global Speed Checker measures your website or API's latency and response time from multiple locations around the world. Instead of testing from just one data center, it runs checks from 28 global regions across 3 cloud providers, giving you a complete picture of your site's real-world performance.
